About This Quote

That's something that tends to happen with new technologies generally: The most interesting applications turn up on a battlefield, or in a gallery. This quote is an incredibly accurate reflection of the smartphone and its functionality. The first smartphones were developed for use by government agencies and large corporations and did not see much popularity and usage by the general public. However, over time, smartphones have become more and more popular amongst everyone from students to CEOs and even artists.

This quote also applies to the internet, which was originally developed as a way for researchers to share ideas and information with each other without having to physically meet. Over time, it has become a highly useful tool for communication and entertainment.
